I the Underachieving Overachiever
Today was an exam day in school... exam days. suck. We took a English-Language Arts "Field Test" which basically means come sit in this room for three hours so we can give you a test that counts for nothing to find out how stupid our citizens are. Now, I like to consider myself an overachiever, unfortunately I am a very lazy overachiever, it's more of a state of mind. I was proud of myself going into this exam, taking my time making my hand writing all nice and neat, then I ran out of time and was forced to take the walk of shame with those who I consider lesser beings, the people who need more time. Turns out they aren't lesser beings, but when I first walked out of the door I was mortified, this was not something I was used to. I continued the walk and finally found some familiar faces that kept me entertained. We retrieved our lunches and moved to the new testing location, the practice gymnasium... not bad not bad at all. I honestly had no idea this room existed, it was huge. I finished my lunch and finished my exam, the end. I learned today, sometimes you just need more time, and you can usually find it if you put in some effort. There is no shame in taking your time, unless you have a deadline, then don't listen to me and get to work. It doesn't make much sense, but after all, this is just Random Importance.
